Knowledge is the key to protecting your child
As a parent or guardian, you do everything you can to keep your child safe. But without the right tools, it can be difficult to recognize risks and take action. Every year, more than 550,000 children in the United States experience abuse. Education and awareness are critical to ensuring your child isn’t one of them.
Without child abuse prevention education, your child could be vulnerable to:
Bullying at school, in extracurricular activities, or online
Online predators using grooming tactics for sexual abuse or exploitation
Abuse by trusted individuals, including family members, coaches, or mentors
